Installing the batteries: Your 5472 can function short term on 4‐
AA batteries. Improved battery life on 8‐AA, but we
suggest you use 12‐AA batteries to get the most out
of your cameras battery life. Using Covert
rechargeable NiMH, 2300mAh, AA batteries will
extend the battery life significantly when paired
with a Covert Solar Panel. DISCLAIMER: Do not use external power source
(Example: Solar Panel) with non‐rechargeable AA
batteries installed in camera. Install batteries by sliding the top battery into the sleeve, then depressing the spring with the other
battery and snapping down in place. Pay attention
to the (+) or (‐) molded into each sleeve to
determine if you insert the positive or negative end
into the sleeve first. Negative battery terminal
always contacts the spring.

Troubleshooting: COMMON ERROR MESSAGES:
“LOG IN FAIL”
“SEND FAIL”
“NETWORK BUSY”
Reasons for error:
Login Fail:
1. The service in your area is insufficient to run the
camera.
2. Make sure that your antenna is attached
securely.
3. Make sure the firmware on your device is the
most up‐to‐date version.
Send Fail:
1. The camera does not have sufficient service to
send the picture. Make sure you have setup an
account and selected a rate plan from
secure.covert‐wireless.com
2. You have entered your ICCID and/or IMEI number
incorrectly. Click the Red X to delete the camera
from your secure.covert‐wireless.com account and
add the correct information.
Network Busy:
1. The AT&T Network service provider is busy.
2. The camera does not have sufficient service to
send the picture.
3. Network busy can also mean there isn’t enough
money on your account with AT&T. No SIM: 1. Take the SIM card out and reinsert it. Ensure it
clicks into place.
If it’s a cellular service issue you may need to
purchase a booster antenna from Covert Scouting
Cameras to help boost the signal. These can be very
effective in boosting the signal to your camera in a
poor signal area.
If you are still having problems, contact
customer service at 877‐462‐1799 or e‐mail
If you e‐mail or have to leave a message, we will
get back to you as quickly as we can.
Cannot access the SET‐UP menu: Reasons for issue: 1) SD card not inserted 2) SD card is corrupted
3) Batteries are low Suggestions to remedy 1) Install new SD card
2) Replace batteries
Tricks and tips on field setup: For best results, mount the camera
approximately 3 feet off the ground facing
straight forward, as level as possible.
To enhance the flash, we recommend
positioning the camera in an area with a
backdrop to reflect the maximum amount of
light. For instance, place the camera 20‐30’
from a field edge facing the woods. For the
inside of timber, positioning the camera facing a
thicket approximately 20‐30’ away.
Try to set the camera up so it’s not facing
directly into the sun either in the morning or
the evening when game movement is at its
peak.
Use the Covert Tree60 mounting system to
mount the camera up higher pointing down on
them for a better look. Works great when you
don’t have a straight tree to attach to.
Included in this manual is an extra “O” ring/seal
for your Covert 5472. You don’t
need to do anything with this seal.
The FW version is reference to our engineers to
ensure a speedy and efficient warranty repair
should the need arise.
